Sorry, CP leather sucks... when compared to leather from footwear makers such as Vass, Edward Green, Gaziano and Girling, etc there is simply no comparison. Not even the same universe of leather quality. Hell, Alden has exponentially better leather than CP. All of you children saying "lol no, CP leather is great Moo, you are dumb... MOM, THE MEATLOAF!" are probably comparing it to leather found in Nike Dunks or what have you. In which case, I'm sure it's the best leather you've ever felt. But in the greater realm of leather quality, CP leather sucks dick. Sorry.

Edit: and before people say "well, Moo, you're comparing $300 sneakers with $1000 shoes... apples and oranges." Sorry - this is wrong. I am comparing some of the "best" sneakers in the world with some of the "best" dress shoes in the world. They are the best in their respective categories.

Wrong comparison. Might as well make a thread about "wow, sneaker leather in general isn't as good as dress shoe leather"

have you been living in a cave for 30 years? when have you ever seen good sneaker leather?

They wear lobb boat shoes then again they can't get anywhere near the water BUT THEY'RE BETTER QUALITY!!!111

I hope lobb and alden start making thick, luxurious leather pants, socks and shirts too. Tired of subjecting my body to these lesser materials i am currently forced to wear. Why would i let cotton/nylon socks touch the inside of my laceups? Ridiculous

I hope we've all learned once and for all that CPs great "quality" is non-existant and you are, in fact, paying for a name and design 0. $300 might be insane for some, reasonable for others, but they're still just sneakers.

can't that apply to button up shirts, laceups, scotch, belts, watches, food, beer, etc....? Stuff is just stuff. Who cares? They obviously look good, are nicer than other sneakers and if you can afford it, why not?
